1‘8 A coach for the squirt house league team has been. acquired in the past week. Now all that is needed to complete the roster for this season is an assistant con- venor for the squirt division. Any volunteer for this posi- tion is asked to contact Mrs. Lynda Price at 884-9782. The gremlins were busy in last week’s column and the schedule of games was head- ed 1975.

They flailed away at one another as if they were dueling with fly- swatters. In one of the matches, this one chap kept charging at his opponent as if he was going to tackle him. This turned out to be too much for the latter and he’d just turn around and take off. Never did catch him. Of course, there was plenty of skill involved also. The most impressive match (other than the knockout) was the last one which involved two teenage scrappers from Sully Sullivan’s To- ronto club put on a five-round exhibition match which featured dazzling footwork and some lightâ€" ning-fast left and right jabs. Strictly scientific, strictly impressive. Tony's Esso 10 G. S. Wood Opticians 3 ziebart Rustproofing 10 Ramsey Rec. 7 Al’s club works out every Monday, Wednes- day and Friday at St. Gabriel’s on Bayview Avenue from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. “It’s my opinion,” said A1, “that boxing is cleaner than hockey. There’s a referee in the ring and just yqu apd the other guy. Welalyvayls use, head-gears in t} It’s great exercise.” In fact you don’t even have to box to join Al’s club. GREAT EXERCISE “I’ve got boys who have been with the club since we opened and they’ve never had the gloves on. They work out with the rest in the gym, skip three rounds with the rope, shadow box, lift weights, etc. The others go two rounds on the heavy bag, two rounds on the speed bags, do sit-ups, etc. G_reat exercise.” ' ' ~_Al“r\,\7inee§ \{Yhen you comment somewhat weakly that there seems to be a lot of hitting to boxing. “"‘R’t’e don’t stress the hitting,” explains A1. “We stress the defensive part of boxing. We try to teach them to not get hit. That where the science comes in.” All right A], but . . . I should mention that 17 trophies were dis- tributed at the Sunday bouts and donated by Rich- mond Hill merchants. Helping to make the show a success were such well-known Toronto boxing entrepreneurs as Sully Sullivan and Ken Cleveland from the Beaches Boxing Club. Ref- eree was Harry Davis, time-keeper, Herb Snider of Richmond Hill (a hcokey ref in the winter, by the way). Also at the ringside was_Dr. J. Kirby. All I can say is that if they have another one (and I hope they do) don’t miss it. It’s drama, humor, fast action. You’ll never want to see a wrestling match again. SWIM SHOW Got a swim show here that sounds like a dandy. Tonight (Wednesday) members of the Richmond Hill Centennial Swim Club will be presenting swimming demonstrations starting at 7 pm. This will also feature competitive swim- ming, life guard team, etc. Also on hand will be four of Canada’s top divers in the persons of Beverly Boys, Cindy Shatto, Linda Cuthbert, and S_kip Phoenix. FASTBALL Finally, the softball season gets underway tonight with the revamped Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers opening their 1974 Toronto and Dis- trict Major Fastball League schedule against Scarboro Lindal Homes. Game time is 8:30 pm at the town park. .1 “\- .. ....-... “Wonk {hat the entire league has strength- ened this season. With Welland Dycks joining the loop it should be the case.

SENIOR GIRLS Hanson’s Flowers 9 Dairy Queen 9 Elaine Allen caught an ex- cellent game until she receiv-i ed an injured hand. Janet Wells played well as short. stop and catcher.

Kim Podoroski did an excellent job behind the plate. Darlene Nelson hit three times in four trips to the plate. For Micro Mets Christina Barbour pitched well, Melin- da Naylor did an excellent job at second base and in the outfield. and Chris Gaffney The opening round robin event starts at 1 pm Saturday at Crosby Park Courts. You are all welcome. And don’t worry if you're late, we'll probably manage to fit you in. Partners will be supplied as well cheese and wine, It's a lot of fun. I still remember} last year â€" two glasses of Cold Duck and I was strictly cold turkey. GIRLS WINâ€"BOYS LOSE The girls had a splendid win at Donalda on Saturday 5-3. Captain Vickie Robinson and Janet Grant won their singles handily and Karen Hi- tchinson and Judy McLean tied their doubles to give us the necessary points. Team Manageress Pat Robinson was understandably well pleased with our first ever win over Donalda. Ruddington, just to make sure I wouldn’t ever forget them, came to Richmond Hill on Saturday and this time called out our boys 5-3. As in last week‘s match, we could well have won this one. Paul Beck and James Ver- meulen just lost their second set in a tie-breaker which, if reversed, would have tied up ‘the whole match 4-4. And ‘they only lost the first set 7-5. Tony Robinson split his singles playing nicely con- trolled tennis. Tony has been with the team since we first started junior teams and he’s always a pleasure to watch.

Those of us who know Bob for the great sportsman that he is, expect these gestures, and a few of the others he makes from time to time. He’s been a stale wart, oh! stalwart is it, on the teams for many years, his main assets being his in- credible talent for winning the toss (when he tosses) and his uncanny line calls. COURT ACCESS It is hoped that by the end of this week, a combination- lock will be in. use on the south west gate. Senior mem- bers can obtain the combina-1 tion by calling Valerie Bruhn on 884-4881. When you open the gate PLEASE FASTEN THE PADLOCK TO THE GATE HOOK so that it can- not be mislaid. And lock up when you leave during club time if the courts are empty.

Richmond Hill United drop- ped a 5-3 soccer game to Aurora United Saturday in a game played at Don Head. Hill United Loses By 5-3 Aurora Team The Hill squad got off to a bad start and saw two mis- takes »put them in arrears in the early going, They finally got going and the game was close from thereon in. They came on the strongest in the second half aided by a strong wind and with a bit more luck might easily have won the game. Exchanges were fairly even for the first 20 minutes when Aurora scored quite unex- pectedly on a defensive error by the homeside. They made it 2-0 shortly after with Rich- mond Hill's Goalkeeper John Slawson having no chance. A This latter score rattled Richmond Hill and this en- abled Aurora to capitalize again to lead 3-0 going into the second half. Richmond Hill got into the contest when Josef Sier slap- ped home a ball as it rolled across the Aurora goalmouth. I Richmond Hill kept pres- sing but Aurora got a quick break and scored on a de- flected shot from leftwing. Richmond Hill United plays its next game Saturday at lCollingwood. The bright moment was short-lived as Aurora capita- lized on another Richmond Hill mistake to make it 4-1. It was Sier adding spark to the Richmond Hill offensive with his second goal and they started turning the play around. A free kick was awarded Richmond Hill as Keith Pros- ser blasted one which went in just off the goalpost to make it 4-3. Richmond Hill Tennis Club By Brian Bullock Phone 884-6841 Clubhouse 884-6421 ‘2 200 Fans Some 200 spectators turned out Sunday to see boxing come to Richmond Hill at the Lions Community Hall and they more than got their money’s worth. Nin e action-filled bouts studded the two-hour card with the high-light being the personal appearance of Cana- dian Heavyweight Champion George Chuvalo. The matches had everyth- ing from wild slug-tests to a scientific five-round boxing exhibition between 110-pound OBA Flyweight and Bantam- weight Champions Nicky Fur- lano and Sammy Reis, Novice Golden Glove champion. Both are members of Sully Sul- livan's Toronto boxing club. Boxing fans even got the chance to watch one bloody nose and a knockout during the bouts. Hill Boxing 'Show Delights Features Action And Drama KNOCKOUT The knockout came in the match between Richmond Hill St. Gabriel's Boxing Club's Todd Fraser and Sul- ly‘s hard-hitting Danny Smear in the 126-pound class. Fraser hit the deck second as he attempted to slug it out with Smear who calmly bloc- ked his best shots and then sagged Fraser with a right- hand. Smear was adjudged the best prospect of the tour- nament and walked off with the Richmond Hill Firefight- ers Trophy. The St. Gabriel Cluvb boys fared well overall as they took their share of- the wins expecially in the small yong- ster groupings. Mic Mac Juveniles 40-Run Explosion The Richmond Hill Juve- nile Dairy Queen Mic Mac girls opened their softball season on a thundering note last week putting together a total of 40 runs in two games to the opposition's 10. Needleâ€"Si to say, Richmond Hill won both games. ‘They walloped Bolton 29-2 in Bolton Tuesday night of last week and then edged Kleinberg 11-8 in their home opener at the town park Thursday night. That game saw the Mic Macs forced to come from behind to win as they trailed by five runs as they came to bat in the fifth inning. They proceeded to drive one eight runs to take the lead. A fine defensive play by Sherri Robions late in the game robbed two Kleinberg players of extra base hits to right field. Susan C'hepelsky started the game and registered four strikeouts in the four innings has worked. Susan is a new addition to the Dairy Queen girls this year and is already proving her ability. Donna Querenguesser came on in relief. Bernadette Thompson and Carol Hunsdale were the leading batters. Tuesday's game was a close one until the fifth inning when the Mic Macs connect- ed for 13 runs. It was all downhill from then on for Bolton. Anne McIntosh led the Club with a triple. two doubles and three singles. Mary Louise Thompson and Roberta Findlay each had a homerun. mQfiérexiguesser went all the way on the mound register- ing five strikeouts.

Then came a unanimous win for Richmond Hill's Cam Moss over Sully’s Sam 0m- bricolo in the 75 pound bracket. Moss was all over Ombricolo for the entire dis- tance. Steve Wright made it three in a row for Richmond Hill for 85 pounders as he deci- sioned Bruce Dack of the Beaches, Gary Bubeloff kept the Richmond Hill streak alive as he outfought a game James McAleese to win the 100- pound division. McAleese was a last-minute replacement and was fighting at 85 pounds but put up a game struggle. Richmond Hill's Jim Dwy- er kept things humming win- ning-wise in the bout of the day with a victory over Gary Bratton in the 105 pound division. Defeat finnally came in the 7th bout as Sully's Jack Vent- rone had too much going for him against Doug Daniel. BLOODY NOSE Ventrone bloodied Daniel's nose in the first round and officials decided to call the fight although the damage appeared to be minimal. Another exhibition saw To- rontos 75-pound "Dynamite" Defoe going against "Killer" Saunders. All of the winners and run- ners-up were presented with trophies as donated by local merchants.

Neither team played well due to bad park conditions but the Rangers adapted more quickly to the field ad- versities. The Rangers drew first blood as Right Winger Andy Godchalk scored on a pass from Jimmy McKeegan. Their next goal came at the 30-minute mark on a beauti- ful combination play from Andy Brennan to Jan Dorst who took it down the left wing. returned it to Brennan who sent it over to Vincent Fottrell who made no mistake with his low right-footed shot into the corner of the net. Newmarket came out pres- sing at the start of the second half and it paid off when a penalty kick was awarded against star centre half Jim- my Leitch of the Rangers. Goalie Ron Binsell didn’t have a chance on. the accu- rate drive. The Rangers took over after this and controlled the game the rest of the way. A few near misses were follow- ed by the Rangers wrap-up goal. It started with team cap- tain John White passing to Jimmy McKeegan who kicked it up the wing to Ian Dorst who beat two Newmarket de- fenders before passing the ball to Vincent Fottrell. Fottrell‘s drive was foiled on a save by the Newmarket goalie but Andy Godchalk was there to hammer home the rebound.
